Hollywood waxing (bikini)

6 replies

momneedscoffee · 02/08/2022 14:12

Hi lovelies.
Im 5 months pregnant and due to being extra sensitive I am unable to have my usual Hollywood waxing done. The pain is unbearable!
Iam becoming rather bushy down below and I constantly feel uncomfortable.
Im used to being totally smooth and this busy life isn't for me!
Can anyone recommend anything to use for shaving etc? I've never shaved so not sure if there's products out there to help stop shave rash etc?
Help a desperate mumma out!
🙏😘

can you use veet? I went back to shaving in lock down and the itch was unbearable

You can get a powder that you mix with water and spread on the skin, like Veet, then rinsed off. Not sure how sensitive it is round the old lady garden though so patch test it. Google 'shaving powder', even though it isn't actually for shaving.

You could try one of those scourer pad jobbies, that seem to rub the hair off, I don't know anyone who's used one on their undercarriage though, the hair may be too coarse but worth a try

As an aside - get used to being uncomfortable, when you've got a crying 3 week old baby and vomit in your hair, you won't give a shiny shit what your hairy fanjita looks like. Trust me.

Genuine question - how can pubes feel uncomfortable? You can't feel them.

i would get some veet and so it that way because there's less chance of an itchy rash.

Good lord don't shave it!!! That will make any uncomfortable-ness even worse plus there's the risk of shaving rash / ingrown hairs which is the last thing you need. Power through this re-growth phase and once it's all back you won't even notice it.

@Allmarbleslost i can feel it i think I’m so used to having a wax that when I dont I find it really irritating

Woo woo is your friend here. Put on wait and rub off in the shower with a flannel. The only thing I will say is definitely get the after care cream and definitely do a spot check first.

I also second the "you won't care about pubes after birth"!
